I quote:
The virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel.

Today's readings invite us to embrace the realisation that "God with us" is the awareness that the Divine Presence in our life, is knocking on our door asking us to let Him lead us through our life's journey.
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. ~ Apocalypse 3:20
The birth of The Saviour resonates with all who understand that they are being influenced by their innermost life
to follow His counselling in all matters.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins."
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,
which means "God is with us."
